@harriethodgson1 I am struck by the significance of turning the room that was filled with sadness into an art studio. What a brilliant way to honor your husband. When I was young, my first husband left me, and I used art to reinvent myself. That is when I left my lab job at a university and went to art school to see if I could develop my artistic abilities. It was hard because I didn't know how much I didn't know about painting and drawing, and it was a good foundation. As I got better, so did my confidence. The beauty of creativity is that you don't have to create masterpieces, and taking that pressure of expectation away gives you the freedom to just express yourself and find yourself again.
